[PATCH v3 0/3] Re:[PATCH v2] Added perf functionality to mmdc driver

[Nitin.Chaudhary@zii.aero (Nitin Chaudhary)]

The following series of patch resolve the kernel compilation errors with the
proposed perf functionality integration into MMDC driver by Zhengyu Shen and
hence provide the working code which can be enhanced upon as per the reviews
from Mark Rutland and Peter Zilstra. The code still retains the original working
as was proposed by Zhengyu except a few minor changes to resolve probe failure
in the latest version of kernel. These patchsets are second version of patches
incorporating the inputs from Zhengyu. The below is description:
 v2 - Migrated driver to use state machine based CPU notifier
 v3 - Fixed the code for probe failure while polling on MMDC MAPSR bit 4

The following are results after running v3 version of the patches on an i.MX6Q
board
